my personal recommendations are as follows (your mileage may vary) -
1/ rip from a dvd-rom drive, NOT the dvd burner.
2/ make sure said dvd-rom drive has region-free hassles removed, ie region-free via firmware
3/ sort the firmware for dvd burner. i did dip my toe in the specialised firmware you can download & tweak, but found best results were to install latest stock firmware
4/ tried the 4300mb limit, even went to 4000mb limit, but crappy media still freezes/skips anywhere on the disc prior to the said limits.
5/ keep burn speed to 4x even with 8x media/modern burner
6/ ditched crappy media and pay a couple of quid more per tub of media. verbatim's seem to be doing nicely at the moment. the last 100 have anyway :)
I only rip main movie anyway, i only use DVD Shrink, have used decryptor 2 maybe 3 times for troublesome/dirty discs.
there is not one film i have been unable to rip (and i include bourne supremacy in that).
as i say everyone's mileage varies, but i read so many posts where peepl can't rip discs, not one of which have i been unable to rip myself.
